“My name is Benito Cantoran, I am the CDFT (chef de food truck , jeje ) at Fat Bob’s Tacos Avant-Garde Cuisine. We are a farm-to-table food truck, owned by Misty Morning Ranch, focused on highlighting local, sustainably raised ingredients with Ostrich being the star of the show. I enjoy cooking with niche ingredients and ostrich just happened to be an animal I haven’t come across that often. My preferred cooking style is traditional Barbacoa, low and slow over some hot coals. I was born in Huitzuco, Guerrero, Mexico and raised here in the Carolinas where my interest for cooking piqued. I started cooking at an early age, which eventually turned into a career path for me, which eventually led me to the Sandhills CC Culinary Program. I am happy to have attended, because from there doors opened up to exciting opportunities. My experience includes working at Ashtens in Southern Pines NC, Mai Phi – Vietnamese in Aberdeen NC, and Le Farfalle in Charleston, SC. Aside from that I enjoy butchery, fishing and recipe experimentation.”
